Supportive &
Customer Focused
At Ricky’s, we’re proud of the supportive, customer-focused culture we’ve built and the corresponding success of the Ricky’s franchise brand.
We pride ourselves in our work culture. Each of our restaurants has a small business feel, with everybody pulling together towards one shared goal. Since our first restaurant opening in 1962, Ricky’s has strived to exceed guest expectations with great food and the very best service. And to achieve this, we know it takes a solid foundation of great guest service built on the strength of our people.
Ricky’s core culture of great guest service is embraced from our support centre to our franchisees to our employees through the establishment of our THRILL program. What is THRILL? A simple word that represents our plan for over-the-top guest experiences.
Trust your team, your guests and your brand.
Hospitality is our business! Make every guest feel welcome. Show people that you care.
Real food for real people.
Integrity and respect. Always do the right thing, have respect for your team, your guests and your brand.
Learn something new each day and coach/teach others.
Love what you do!
Proudly Serving Our Community
At Ricky’s we believe that we are part of something bigger – the community we live and work in. We are particularly proud of our relationship with Breakfast Club of Canada. Ricky’s supports the belief that a good day starts with a good breakfast through special features, participation in school breakfast programs, and the ongoing sales of our Breakfast Sandwich.
We are also committed to giving back to our local communities through participating in neighbourhood events and programs. Even the simple act of connecting with our guests with a smile and a friendly word is a way we make the local community stronger every day.
Together we work towards the goal of operating restaurants that we can all be proud of and that the public is proud to have in their community.
